FAQ

Is solar panel cleaning worth it?

An experiment involving solar panels on a low-slope roof sought out the difference in energy output before and after a thorough cleaning. The researchers found an average 3.5% boost in energy production (the amount of power produced over time) after cleaning the panels.

How often do solar panels need to be cleaned?

It is generally recommended to clean solar panels every 6 months to a year in order to maintain the productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness of the panels. However, based on where you live and the level of dirt and pollution, the need for cleaning may be more frequent.

What is the effect of not cleaning solar panels?

Having dirty Solar Panels, not only creates an eye sore, but also affects your Solar PV System's performance. As bird droppings, dust, pollution and tree sap start to cover your panels, sunlight can no longer reach the Solar cells. Essentially, dirty panels have the same impact on a Solar PV System as shading does.
